@Dalarrun I kind of figured that were the case. On the other hand responding in this thread has reminded me how much I love this series so I'll probably end up picking up the game Friday and forcing myself with my personal controller issue. Either that or ill buy a dongle and use my Xbox One controller xD
@VmprHntrD I was born in 85. Not really relevant but humorous to me.
Anyway, since you're older and vividly remember playing NES games just try to put your mindset back to playing the original Zelda. That's how I see these types of games. No tutorial. No direction. Just go explore, get clues and have fun. I also believe that the original Zelda is a lot harder than the Souls/Borne games.
@VmprHntrD I would also like to add that I HATED this game at first. I found the combat clunky and awful but once I finally beat the Gargoyles something just clicked and I fell in love with all of it.
@VmprHntrD I haven't used lock on in the series in a really, really long time but I never remember having any issues with it. I just don't need it so I don't use it.
@Medic_alert my only issue had been not being able to switch A and B around for menus. Other than that the beta felt like the same old Dark Souls I have been playing for years.
@VmprHntrD Dark Souls is in my top 5 franchises of all time. My issue is my brain not being able to get past the controller layout on Nintendo. The layout is the same as the other consoles so that's essentially on me. I've never found an aspect of this series anywhere close to "bad design". There is very little jank in any of them. If you die its on you and not the game, at least 99% of the time anyway. The first Dark Souls game you play will definitely be the hardest but once you understand the gameplay it gets A LOT easier. Plus the lore is out-freaking-standing.
@goggles789 that A and B are reversed. Ive played Dark Souls for YEARS and am used to the button placement on Xbox, which is the same as the Switch beta, but when I get a Nintendo controller in my hand I can't wrap my head around the button placement for some reason. Like, I know to select something on Xbox A is what I would hit but I end up hitting A on the Nintendo controller and exiting the menu. Hopefully this was understandable lol
@BlueOcean the information is in the article. It mentions Japan multiple times and nowhere does it say that it is available anywhere but Japan. Just because your reading comprehension skills aren't up to par doesn't mean you have to be a [removed].
@BlueOcean except its not. We have known that this is a Japan only feature. Until someone states otherwise why would you assume that its spread to other countries based off of the lack of that information?
@RootsGenoa ive played Dark Souls for years. Im used to the button layout but for some reason when I played that Switch beta I could not wrap my head around A being cancel and B being select on my Pro Controller even though the placement is the same as my Xbox controller lol
@SMBSS now when you say "it popped right up" does this mean I can play it now if I preorder or the game just shows up as available for release date of Fighterz?
@BlueOcean With being born in '85 and experiencing the original console wars first hand that commercial absolutely blew my mind. I never thought that I would see major console manufacturers market together like that. It truly is a beautiful thing and I hope Sony gets on board eventually as well.
@BlueOcean I have all 3 this generation. Started with the One but Bloodborne made me get a PS4 and it and God of War (2018) are two of the best games of this generation in my opinion. I really only still have my Xbox so my son and I can play Fortnite together crossplay with me on Switch and for Halo.
@Cobalt If a game comes out on Switch and Xbox/PS4 I'm 9 times out of 10 going to buy it on Switch even though its 30fps vs 60fps in most cases. Like with Dark Souls Remastered. I'm waiting to buy it on Switch because that's how I want to play it. I really don't care.
@XenoShaun I'm very glad they put this up. I don't play Odyssey but my 8 year old son does. It's good to know that this kind of stuff is going on so I can keep an eye out for it.

Re: Soapbox: Huawei's Not The First Company To Vie For Nintendo's Portable Crown, And It Won't Be The Last
@Dalarrun don't get me wrong. I LOVED my Game Boy. I just enjoyed my Game Gear more lol

the Game Gear was better than the Game Boy in my opinion
